He goes on to point fingers at the war mongers:
Some 220 members, a majority, have endorsed House Concurrent Resolution 362. This virtual war resolution "demands" that President Bush initiate a blockade to halt all Iranian imports of refined petroleum products and impose "stringent inspection requirements on all persons, vehicles, ships, planes, trains, and cargo entering or departing Iran."
A Democratic House that came to power denouncing the rush to war on Iraq is about to vote to demand that Bush commit an act of war against Iran.
The front men for 362 are liberal Gary Ackerman of New York and conservative Mike Pence of Indiana. But the juice behind them is that of the Israeli lobby AIPAC, which is marching in step with Israel.
Last week, Mossad's chief, Meir Dagan, was here to make the case for war on Iran. This week, Defense Minister Ehud Barak visits Dick Cheney and maybe Bush. Next week, it is the head of Israel's armed forces.
Israel and its Fifth Column in this city seek to stampede us into war with Iran. Bush should rebuff them, and the American people should tell their congressmen: You vote for 362, we don't vote for you.
Buchanan's comments are no different from those of the great post-War conservative thinker Russell Kirk but they have upset some of the Israel-First wingnuts.

Good piece, but who will on-again, off-again GOP loyalist
support? 4 years ago the entire editorial staff of his paper, American Conservative, each wrote an endorsement piece. All supported either Nader, Kerry or other third party alternatives. All except Pat that is, who supported Bush, whom he had previously called arguably guilty of war crimes, as the balance of his staff pointed out.
